here are 2 of the 3 quilts I am doing for the kids secion of the new Wingra clinic: this sun face is in the standard repertoire, Terri the clinic manager picked the black border print and the loden green outer edge exactly matches the color swatch of the upholstery! It is always odd for [...]
With Babydog! A scene from my holiday show! Although I painted it while in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico! I can’t believe I quilted this whole quilt on my little Bernina home sewing machine! That’s a lot of scrunching!
